• 2 pork chops (about 200g each)

Drain the paprika strips, rinse the chops with cold water and dab dry, and cut into the fat at the edge, cut the gherkin into slim strips, rub the pepper and marjoram into the meat. Heat the fat to a high temperature and fry the chops each side for about 1 min. Reduce the heat by about half and let them fry for about another 5min. each side adding the Beer bit by bit. Remove the chops from the frying pan, salt them both sides and keep warm. Add the cabbage, paprika strips, gherkin and caraway to the pan, heat well and serve over the chops. Serve with freshly baked Ciabatta and a Glass of chilled Beer. (Original Budweiser [Budwar] is the best)
